Confessional latitudinarians

Horton is advocating confessional maximalism. He still believes not just the broad outlines (from some perspective or other) of the faith confessed by the Reformed churches but he actually believes the stuff between the first article and the last.

Among the jacket blurbs for Roman Catholic scholar Scott Hahn’s new Covenant and Communion: The Biblical Theology of Pope Benedict XVI are endorsements from respected conservative Protestant Biblical Theologians Kevin Vanhoozer, Tremper Longman, and Hans Boersma offer tantalizing endorsements.

Even Michael Horton is in on the action:

“Even when one disagrees with some of his conclusions, Benedict’s insights, as well as his engagement with critical scholarship, offer a wealth of reflection. In this remarkable book, Hahn has drawn out the central themes of Benedict’s teaching in a highly readable summary. An eminently useful guide for introducing the thought of an important theologian of our time.” Michael Horton, Westminster Seminary California.

There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ: nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalts himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God” (WCF 25:6).
